What is Rocket City FurMeet? It's an anthropomorphics or furry convention. It's a get-together, a gathering of friends, a chance to make new friends, and much more. It's primary purpose is to provide a place where furs can gather to have fun and be themselves; a place to be who we really are without having to worry about the mundane concerns we think about the rest of the year. In short, it is a fur meet.
